I just telnet in using PuTTY (username is always root, then your dd-wrt password). Enter the command that SimulationMan gives, tell it to upgrade and it does it.
Very simple and can be done via wifi. In some ways, it's actually safer than updating through the GUI as it verifies the checksum etc.
That's what I did but the response back was ddup invalid command or something to that effect. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

I recommend using
Code:
ddup --flash-latest
rather than the -remote. It is easier and it will automatically do the hard stuff for you Also, it will always get it right. As mentioned, this can only be done from an existing Kong build. _________________ KONG Builds for R7000, AC68U

I was on BS latest build. You said it works only on kong builds. I thought kong was including all of his fixes to the main releases. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

Ddup is Kong's own utilty for updating his builds and is not part of the svn. I copied ddup to my usb /opt drive then added a couple of scripts to simplify
firmware loads from both Kong and BS. I manually download the new code, copy it to /opt and only have to enter ddb or ddk to have it loaded. As part of the operation the script copies the code to a common name which is used for the actual update because ddup erases it when finished. This leaves the original code file available if I feel the need to reload.
When new Kong code is available I check to see if ddup has changed and if so I update the /opt drive.
No network hassles since the code is local on the router. Yes, I am lazy. I'll happily spend an hour writing code for a 5 minute job when it saves me time and less aggravation later on.
Since I have 2 R7000's (thanks to you) it's twice as easy.

Before I commit new features or bigger changes I discuss things with BS. In this case BS said he doesn't need it, since he has his own solution for his paying customers. That's why it is not included in svn and since it is only a script the code is available in clear text.
I've tried the ddup process several times now (ddup --flash-latest), but all it does is "think" for a minute, then displays:
New release 28000 for Netgear R7000 available.
Do you want to update (y/n) [default=n]:
Aborting.
It displays all of the above text immediately, without giving me time or ability to type "y".
I've done a search on these boards, but can't find anything similar. Apologies in advance, if this has already been discussed and resolved. Could anyone shed some light or provide input? Thanks in advance!

Well if it says "Aborting", then you or your terminal send command "Enter".
As always, thanks for the quick reply and help Kong, you are much appreciated.
I just found my issue - as usual, user error. I was trying to execute the command from the gui window, instead of telneting in through a cmd prompt. I tried to telnet via cmd and it worked fine. Apologies for the dumb post.

Your comment hasn't got anything to do with topic. Also you haven't even given your router model, is not the same for every router. Do a search on ddwrt forum, read stickies, read peacock. This is a year old thread god sake.
